Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Ice cream cones
- 2 cups Whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate
- 0.5 cup Chopped pistachios
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully incorporated. Then, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Chill the filling in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
While the filling chills, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15- to 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip the tops of the ice cream cones into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately sprinkle the dipped edges with chopped pistachios. Place the cones upright on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set (you can refrigerate for faster setting).
Once the chocolate is set and the filling is chilled, transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large round or star tip.
Pipe the ricotta filling into each prepared ice cream cone, filling them generously.
For optional garnish, sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips or powdered sugar on top of the filling.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy your delightful Ice Cream Cone Cannoli!
